Dixie Family Restaur

Dixie Family Restaurant has been serving travelers, truckers and Route 66 visitors since 1928. The menu covers omelettes, skillets, griddle plates, burgers, wings and sandwiches, and the homemade cooking and buffet are the main draw.

The restaurant sits right on Route 66 in McLean and calls itself one of the oldest truck stops in the country and the last of its kind in Illinois. It is open early in the morning until late evening, seven days a week, with later hours on weekdays. Families on road trips and truckers passing through are both regular visitors.
